In 1951, as soon as the Xianfeng Emperor ascended the throne, the news of the Taiping Rebellion came. I thought that the strength of the imperial court could easily suppress the uprising of the Diao people, but I did not expect that the Green Army was gradually defeated and retreated, and the kung fu of a year was lost twice, which made Xian Feng, who was just twenty years old, greatly angry.
At this time, Zeng Guofan was worried about the death of his mother, and after hearing the news of the Taiping Army's siege of Changsha, he was anxious to eat and want to contribute to the country, but he did not have the right to mobilize the imperial army.
Soon, the emperor's holy will arrived, and Zeng Guofan was greatly encouraged, thinking that he could lead his troops to kill the enemy, but what he did not expect was that the holy will only allowed him and more than thirty other officials to form a local army to fight against the Taiping Army.
Zeng Guofan knew that the little emperor was following the jiaqing emperor's method of suppressing the White Lotus Sect and using the local militia against the local rebel army.
It has to be said that the advantages of this method outweigh the disadvantages for the imperial court. On the one hand, the salaries of the local army did not need to be paid by the imperial court, which saved a lot of financial expenses; on the other hand, the Green Army was gradually defeated, and there was really no extra troops to fight.
Zeng Guofan was overwhelmed by the Xianfeng Emperor's approach, and his heart was extremely disappointed, and he had the intention of continuing to worry about state affairs and ignoring state affairs.
At this time, his friend Guo Chongshou came to visit and asked Zeng Guofan why he had repeatedly resigned from the imperial court's arrangements, and was he not afraid that the Taiping Army would come over?
Zeng Guofan could not know Guo Chongshou's intention to come to the door, so he told him the worries in his heart.
Guo Chongshou understood that Zeng Guofan was very disappointed in the court's approach, but he said to Zeng Guofan: "Isn't your ideal to save the country and save the people, there is such an opportunity in front of you, why don't you seize it?" ”
After speaking, Guo Chongshou turned and left.
Zeng Guofan pondered for a long time, feeling that the imperial court must also have difficulties in doing so, but it could not abandon the people and water and fire because of the difficulties of the imperial court. Therefore, he hurriedly caught up with Guo Chongshou and decided to form a group with him to practice.
The next day, the two found Inspector Zhang Liangji to explain their intentions.
Zhang Liangji then sent the two to Changsha to cooperate with Luo Zenan and lead the militia to resist the Taiping Army.
After Zeng Guofan saw Luo Zenan, he found that he was dressed in Confucian clothes and was full of bookish anger, but he had a unique view of leading soldiers to fight. The two hit it off immediately, and there was a feeling of seeing each other and hating each other.
At this time, There were only more than a thousand people in Rozenan's vigilante group, most of whom were readers. After Zeng Guofan saw it, he was both relieved and worried.
It is gratifying that the readers know that etiquette and righteousness are important, and the country can stand up without hesitation when it comes to danger; what is worrying is how these students who have no power to tie their hands can resist the Taiping Army!
But zeng guofan's worries proved superfluous.
Compared with the decadent and incompetent Green Army, these armies formed and led by scholars are easier to manage, can be tempered with morality, have shame, love the people, and can achieve "not afraid of death, do not want money."
However, the militia regiment with shusheng as the main force was simply despised by other units, and even the military generals who were members of the militia regiment did not submit to Luo Zenan's management.
Until the fourth year of Xianfeng, Luo Zenan led a thousand people to guard the Yuezhou Bridge, but the Taiping Army came to attack the army of tens of thousands.
Luo Zenan's troops were dispatched calmly in three ways, and they used various tactics of war to the real place, did not fall behind against the brave and unscrupulous Taiping Army, resisted several attacks of the Taiping Army with a very small number of troops, and saved the Yuezhou Bridge.
Since then, no one in the army has dared to despise the students and soldiers.
In the following battles, the militia regiment grew stronger and stronger, and also had a resounding name "Xiang Army!" ”
With the help of Luo Zenan and Guo Chongshou, Zeng Guofan's Xiang army grew stronger. The spirit of the Xiang army to endure hardships and not be afraid of death also spread throughout the Green Camp and the rebel armies everywhere.
After the Pacification of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Xiang army participated in suppressing internal troubles such as the rebellion in the northwest and the recovery of Xinjiang, and resisted several external troubles, making the name of the Xiang army powerful for a while.
Later, with the help of Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang concocted and formed the "Huai Army" according to the law, and brought out 15 governors and 14 inspectors such as Zuo Zongtang, Luo Bingzhang, and Zeng Guoquan, so that the situation of short-lived Zhongxing in the late Qing Dynasty was once there, and there was also a saying that "Zhongxing will be xiang nineteen lakes and Xiang".
However, it is regrettable that the Xiang Army eventually disintegrated, and Zuo Zongtang also tore his face with Zeng Guofan.
If you want to understand the reasons for this, I recommend reading the famous historian Tan Boniu's "Battle Of Tianjing". This book begins with the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and deeply interprets the choices and actions of Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Empress Dowager Cixi and others in the great changes of the times, which can be called the military and political archives of the late Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, it is also a game book about human feelings and sophistication, which brings together the human feelings and sophistications between various forces, making it easier for us to see the political situation and complex personnel relations in the late Qing Dynasty.
On the surface, this is a book about the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but in fact it is a book about how to deal with superiors and colleagues.
Zhang Ming, a professor at the Department of Political Science at Chinese Min University, said: "Tan Bo Niusheng has a good mouth that talks about history, tells a story, does not branch or branch, and has roots and evidence. Just open his book and can't help but fall into his eyes. ”
The writer Feng Tang said: "Tan Boniu's preciousness is to uphold the mantle of Sima Qian, standing between Shaolin Fist and Sunflower Treasure Book, talented and without losing historical knowledge." If the "History" is one hundred points, the "Battle HeavenLy Capital" can get seventy points. ”
"Battle Tianjing" takes Zeng Guofan as the main line, and has a panoramic perspective on the important military and political events during the Xianfeng Tongzhi period. Reading this book will not only allow you to understand the history of the late Qing Dynasty, but also improve your emotional intelligence and learn the way of the world.
